My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess

To ensure the mood of the laid-back girl was well-calmed, Shirakawa Sawahei deliberately stayed behind to accompany her for dinner, play games, go shopping, and conclude with a display of his culinary skills by cooking a homemade stir-fry for the Ise Yu family. Ise Yu Yudomura and Ise Yu Yuka couldn't stop praising his cooking, suggesting he stay over for the night and also handle breakfast the next day.

Laid-back girl: ?

If I had known you were this kind of parents, I shouldn't have let you block this scumbag for me in the first place... You didn't block him, and now he's staying over...

When you realize his scumbag nature in the future, I can't wait to see how despairing your faces will be!

Shirakawa Sawahei, on his part, politely declined at first, then coughed lightly and agreed. He glanced at his cute little girlfriend and found she had no reaction.

This godsend opportunity, missing it would be a sin! Shirakawa Sawahei quickly calmed himself, assessing the current situation: it's known that cute little Ise Yu just mentioned there are no spare rooms at home, and normally guests wouldn't be made to sleep on the couch, so it must mean...

Sofa: That's right, it's me.

Shirakawa Sawahei looked at the bed made up for him on the sofa by Ise Yu Yuka and slowly typed a question mark.

Oh no, this family isn't normal at all!

The scumbag walking on a tightrope finally understood what it means to face a master's foresight with a bronze-level response. With a long sigh, he could only bite the bullet and accept the silent loss.

I guess I'm still too young... But to restore the glory of the scumbag king, sleeping on the couch it is!

What does it feel like to sleep on your girlfriend's couch? Shirakawa Sawahei closed his eyes and thought about it, feeling as if his heart was as calm as still water, like an old monk in meditation.

In short, not daring to move.

Fortunately, Shirakawa Sawahei wasn't spoiled; sleeping on the couch or bed felt no different. Just as he was about to doze off, a voice gently shook him awake.

"Mr. Shirakawa..."

"!?"

Shirakawa Sawahei shuddered all over, realizing the opportunity to sleep in the room was right before him.

As expected, my cute little Ise Yu knows how to care for me... All those times spoiling her weren't in vain. But speaking of which... Why does the voice sound a bit off?

He opened his eyes to see Ise Yu Yudomura's worried face in front of him, startling Shirakawa Sawahei so much that he shrank back, grabbing his blanket.

"Uncle... Do you need something?"

"Oh dear, how can you sleep here? Yuka really should be more courteous, knowing you're a guest... Don't worry, I've already tidied up a study room for you... You can sleep there tonight."

"But..."

"No buts, you'd really make it hard for me to sleep soundly if you stay here..."

Shirakawa Sawahei opened his mouth, wanting to say something but couldn't, ultimately nodding helplessly and following Ise Yu Yudomura away from the sofa.

Not long after, a sneaky laid-back girl tiptoed down from upstairs, seemingly wanting to find her poor boyfriend...

Couldn't find him!

The laid-back girl stomped back upstairs angrily.

The old scumbag lying on the study bed: "..."

Ginger gets spicier with age. In front of my girlfriend's parents, there's simply no room for a fledgling scumbag like me; I'm decisively arranged without a fight...

This can't go on, a scumbag must grow stronger!

...

The next morning, Shirakawa Sawahei got up to wash up, and at the second-floor sink was his cute little Ise Yu waiting for him, warming his heart as he walked over, picking up the toothbrush prepared by the Ise Yu couple for him, and handed it over.

Their images once again reflected in the mirror together, but this time it was Shirakawa Sawahei smiling while the laid-back girl wasn't just dumbly grinning.

He previously didn't understand her insistence on waiting for him to brush their teeth together, but after becoming a couple, he finally felt the charm of it.

She's so, so, so, cute, even when she looks half-awake, my girlfriend is just so adorable...

The same thought applies to referring to a boyfriend, but obviously, cute little Ise Yu hadn't entirely returned to her senses yet, still unable to help putting on a stern face to show she wasn't happy at all.

Forgiving this scumbag too easily would make him think I'm easily bullied... Yeah, gotta be mean to him a little longer...

"I'll be leaving after breakfast."

"Ah... That soon... Can't you stay a little longer with me?" The laid-back girl paused for a moment before subconsciously answering, "Why don't you stay over the New Year?"

"I'd like to, but I promised my aunt I'd go back for New Year, I can't just lie to her." Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, thinking that if not for this, he also had a Black Hearted Lolita back home to deal with... Wondering if she'd caused any trouble during his absence...

Whatever she says is fine, just don't say she's pregnant! And even if she claims to be pregnant, don't say the child is mine!

He was genuinely afraid of Asano Nazuki, worried that if Higashino Rin accidentally mentioned something like Tsukimi sakurazawa being his girlfriend, the Black Hearted Lolita might go berserk aiming for a showdown with Shirakawa extreme like-for-like.

"But are you just going to deceive me easily?" cute little Ise Yu said indignantly, "You've only spent one day with me..."

"How about after New Year we move back together?"

"Hmph... I'll think about it..."

"How long will you think about it?"

"Depends on how you behave."

Shirakawa Sawahei nodded, sighed, "I see, then how about I confess like in an anime, shouting to the whole neighborhood: I like you, Orikin, I like you the most most most much!"

"Eek, so cheesy..." The laid-back girl coyly said, "Copying anime confessions doesn't work, you'll have to confess properly to make me consider moving back…"

"Or... why not have Tsukimi and Xia Zhi..." Shirakawa Sawahei tentatively asked, "together..."

"No way! I'll move back tomorrow!" The laid-back girl furiously said, "That's my house! I've met with the landlord grandma! If you dare bring them in, I'll break up with you!"

Shirakawa Sawahei contentedly diverted his gaze, continuing to wash up.

He naturally knew it was impossible for all four of them to live together now, but it didn't stop him from using this trick to nudge cute little Ise Yu to move back sooner.

Scumbag tactics.

After finishing breakfast, the Ise Yu couple continued to praise Shirakawa Sawahei's cooking, saying his boiled eggs were a masterpiece with soul, giving a boost of energy after just one bite. Shirakawa Sawahei thought for a moment, courteously declining the compliments.

Not to mention my cooking skills were picked up from your daughter... Eating one bite giving a boost of energy, seriously? Is this a typical Neon wordplay?

Ise Yu Yudomura and Ise Yu Yuka smiled kindly, as if they weren't the ones who schemed against the poor little early-stage scumbag yesterday. After breakfast, Shirakawa Sawahei stayed for a moment before bidding farewell to the couple.
